Avoid
excess idling. Idling longer than 60 seconds consumes more gas than
stopping and restarting. If your stop will take longer than a minute,
turn the engine off to save gas and help the environment. Even on cold
mornings ? 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.

If
you see a gasoline tanker at the gas station, come back another day!
Tankers can bring up sediment in the station?s underground tanks, which
can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors causing poor performance and
potential repairs.

Get
the junk out of your trunk. The more you carry the more fuel you burn.
For every extra 100 pounds that a vehicle carries, fuel economy drops
by 2%.

Inspect
your tires once a month. Under-inflated tires can cause a loss of fuel
economy and premature tire wear. Tire pressure care is the least
expensive form of preventive and safety maintenance.

Don?t
top-it-off! Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank,
leading to inefficient gasoline use. After the first ?click? of fuel
nozzle, you are ready to go.

Fill
up early or late. Gas has greater density at lower temperatures. Fill
up during the cooler early-morning or late-evening hours, and you'll get
more gas for your money.
